Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub
Infrastructure 30 Apr 2025
It’s a popular sci-fi trope: the New York city skyline submerged under water, the city in ruins. Our worst fears about the future come true. But is New York actually preparing for this? Well, yes. Over the last few years New York has been quietly retrofitted to be flood-proof.
Part of this plan has included preparations for an absolutely enormous $119BN sea wall that would stretch from the Rockaways to a strip of land in New Jersey south of Staten Island.
The new center officially opened to the public on June 19. Photographer Nick Ulivieri captured a series of images of the site as it approached its completion.
Construction works have already begun on the site in Qiddiya City, with The New York Times reporting that the venue could host the first ever ATP Masters 1000 event in 2028.
Published by Penguin Random House, Mega Builds by Fred Mills is now one of the bestselling non-fiction books in the UK.
